Hello -

I would like to know what is the standard or preferred way of setting
a variable at the configure command line. What I am hoping is there
is some way to do something like

   % configure --set MYVAR="value of myvar"

An AC_SUBST(MYVAR) call then could be used to force the substitution 
in @MYVAR@ in the Makefile.

I know there is no --set option, but you get the idea: the variable 
MYVAR is used in configure & configure.in, and it would be useful to
set it at configure time. I am trying to avoid having to force the
installer to do a setenv prior to running the configure script.

Maybe this is easy and I have overlooked this in the autoconf docs,
but any constructive advice would be appreciated.

- John
